Whoa, lots of nice stuff in the pictures! I especially like your dual 20 stage Marx generator, how about opening a new thread and showing some pictures of that in action? Also a nice current transformer, and that small, matchbox shaped cap dangling on the lower left on the picture... I've got an identical one. It is supposed to be an ultra-ultra-fast pulse cap. What is it used for in your setup?

the capasitor is one of those low inductance pulse caps. it is my primary capaitance, .01uf 10kv. I am playing with the capsaitance to see what a happens when Xc is in resonance or out. I am also trying to lern how to SPICE this in a model. The green units in the pictures are person probes that I use to mesure primary and secondary currents. the primary is 180A peak and the secondary is 2A peak. I would love to do a thread on my twin marx but am having thruble getting my camera to take a picture at the same time it fires. I have to increase the shutter time and for that I need a trypod.I made some short 5meg quicktime videos if some one can tell me how to put them on the site with out violate the rules. I also got one to fire at a time and could not sync them so I left it for another day. I might just put them on a larger base and stack them.
